Hello friends, new and old! My name is Megan, I'm married to my best friend and mama to two beautiful kids. J, my 10-year-old son and E, my 3-year-old daughter. I am a SAHM taking care of the kids as well as my mom and sister, who needs full-time care. I also happen to be a caregiver outside of the home a few days a week. So, in my very limited time off, I like to unwind and relax with paper crafting. Grabbing a cup of coffee and making a card or trying out a new technique is my happy place. I have decided to share my knowledge in card making and paper crafting and try my hand at blogging and technique videos, not for an income but to teach and connect with like minded individuals. My passion for sharing knowledge with others sprouted from my time spent on the servicing side of the mortgage industry for 14 years. I was the go to person for ensuring files were accurate and I loved it! Never hesitate to share a comment or ask a question, if I don't know the answer I will find it for you! I look forward to creating with you all!

Congrats!

Casual Greetings by Julie Ebersole, Essentials by Ellen Hot Foil Stamps

I learned how alchol inks move last week and this week I am turning those backgrounds in to cards. I had feeling I might struggle with this process just a bit. The goal is to keep the background the focus, and I like to put lots of “things” on my cards. It was a good …
